YHC rolled up to the AO at 0530 with 4 other PAX clocking in at the front end of the snowstorm. DISCLAIMER and we’re off. Pox leading the runners and YHC taking the ruckers down the greenway. The pre-blast on Slack set out a goal of 3 miles as that’s what YHC had left on Pathfinder Endure.

Roomba and Heatstroke caught up with the ruckers at the first bridge bringing the total PAX count to 7. Heatstroke stayed with Rolling Ruck and Roomba dropped it into high gear to catch up to the runners.

The entire greenway was covered through an Indian Ruck. Our pace while underway was better than 15 min/mi because of that. Conditions were a bit more slippery on the return trip and YHC didn’t feel like risking buddy carries some of the cutouts were skipped; but the target distance was met. On the nose.

YHC remains unsure of the actual Satisfaction Cruise route, but PoX and Golden Boy were in position for a snowball ambush as the Rolling Ruck crew returned.

Circle o’ Trust was more rushed this time to give PAX a chance to get back to their homes.

• It’s great to see Roomba, Pox and Golden Boy getting after it on the Cruise. Keep it up guys!
• YHC is certain he’s not alone when he says that he loves it when Rouge joins us.
• Great pace by Project, Sugar and Heatstroke. 50# isn’t easy at that pace, but it’ll make the upcoming event less daunting.
• YHC joins Heatstroke, Project and Whatley as Stoners who’ve make the Pathfinder Class 14 Finisher board. Thanks to them and all of the PAX who are doing the Custom MeCa event in March. YHC remains unsure why he joined up for this escapade.

As always, it’s a privilege to post with you guys.
